2nd Section of driveway poured

Today was another success story in this project. Another massive slab of concrete was layed (16.2cm3) worth - down the sweeping curve of the driveway.  The boys did a great job.
The next slab will be the last section down to the kerb and we'll have to wait 2 weeks until the concrete company reopens after the christmas holiday break.
As far as progress goes, we hit all our targets before christmas - well done Team!

Footing steel installed and a much needed arrival

Toe footing steel RW2 section was installed, excess dirt and rocks were taken away and the toilet arrived on site (very good news)

Final Section Concrete Pour

It's been a long time coming, but we finally made it to the last concrete pour of this driveway. The last section took 16 cubic metres of concrete and we proved today that a concrete truck with 5 cubic metres of concrete can reverse up the driveway with no trouble at all. This says a lot about the strength and planning of such a driveway given the slope. It also has greater meaning for the house build - all footings and slabs will have easy access for the trucks in the future! Pete, Will and Clynton were on board today to finish the final section, which looks great - well done guys.

Stage 2 of driveway (top section) started.

We have finally started on the Stage 2 of the driveway - after literally months of rain.  We could not have stopped the last stage at a better time - it was hammering down with rain 3 days after we completed stage 1. Peter is again available so we are going all out to finish Stage 2.  After sorting out where the garage will be placed (thanks Chris) in order for the driveway to meet up correctly from its current position, we are now ready to install the top section.
